I remember spending quite some time twisting and cavorting around in my ship following the Trinity expansion just to enjoy the shadows appearing and dissipating again on the ship's hull.
CCP Peirz has been working on making shadows even more beautiful for the Winter Expansion and in his new dev blog he tells us about the work, and shows us examples.

Really nice... Excellent work.
The pictures I'd really like to have seen though, are ones showing how the shadows look when projected against a station or stargate... |

Honestly I had shadows turned off before, simply because of how bad they looked. Looks like I'll be turning them back on. |

Normally I have them turned off cause they tend to slow things down a lot in this and pretty much any other game. These changes won;t help that but at least they look better for when i feel like frying my system for a decent screenshot XD
I look forward to having a decent system XD The Drake is a Lie |

Sounds great, but the most important improvement for shadows wasn't even mentioned:
Shadows on Large Objects like Stations, Asteroids, Gates, etc. Does this mean we get rid of the ugly dark blocks? Someone please tell me if this doesn't fix that, this is something that's being worked on and why you can't fix it??? |

I think your graphics card is rendering ships white.
Oh I get it... CCP is trying to stay with the times like BF3, Rage, and Skyrim and their bad colours. |

Love the technical details. But, being generous, I understood about 60% of that. Anybody care to explain (or link to) how axis aligned bounding boxes, light sourceGÇÖs viewpoints, and shadow receivers all tie together?
Also: pretty. |

Personally I rarely have the view zoomed in anywhere near close enough to see shadows more than "dat side of ship is darker than other" but nice that it'll look better when I DO zoom in closer. Probaly quite a few people will think "meh so what?" about this but it's all the 'little' details like this that come together to make any game look more awesome and shiny overall, great that you can squeeze out improvements like this for (hopefully actual) little increase in load |

I maybe a party poopper, but to be honest, the existing shadows are good enough. I fail to see what a huge improvement this change makes.
If you want to improve how the game looks update some more ships like you did with the scorpion. |

I hope you brought a plastic baggy for that poop.
My props off to the dev for making this improvement. It's a rare thing to see any kind of visual improvement in a game without a noticeable increase of system resources, and you pulled it off splendidly.
